Loving God


What is love?  On the surface it is a very simple question.  And yet deep down it is extremely complex and complicated.  How does one put into words the full definition of love?  One might say it is impossible to define love because love is an action, not words.  And yet the words of a love poem can deeply touch the heart of a loved one.

What does it mean to love our family members, our children, parents, spouses, and siblings?  What does it mean to love and have lost?

What is love?  Is it an emotion?  An action?  A moment?  A lifetime?  Or is it all these things at once?

It is difficult to define love in our everyday life, but attempting to understand what it means to love our Creator God is even more so.  And yet, Jesus calls His people to “love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind” (Matthew 22:37, ESV).  Quite a heavy load to carry when it comes to discipleship!

Join us this week as we explore, study, and understand the greatest commandment in God’s Word.  May the Spirit give us an understanding and a desire to strive to live out His truth and call to love Him.

Striving to know Christ and make him known,
